Course Overview

Transitioning from academia to the real world can be both exciting and challenging. Beyond academic expertise, it’s crucial to develop diverse professional skills vital in the workplace, such as communication, relationship management, teamwork, adaptability, emotional intelligence, and business & corporate etiquette.

Understanding ownership and accountability becomes increasingly important as you transition to the real world, which presents real situations leading to real gains and real losses. The risks and costs of learning can be high, and setbacks may require significant time and effort to overcome. Therefore, it’s essential to quickly learn and master the new rules of this playing field.

The transition from the structured environment of academia to the dynamic and unpredictable real world can be complex and, if not well-managed, intimidating. This shift presents new opportunities and challenges, requiring students to adjust to the work culture, adapt to professional norms and expectations, and navigate workplace hierarchies, communication styles, and office politics.

Balancing work and personal life emerges as a new challenge, calling for effective management of work demands alongside personal responsibilities and interests. Achieving a healthy work-life balance requires skills in time management, delegation, escalation management, boundary setting, and prioritisation.

Rejection and failure are inevitable aspects of life. Learning to cope with setbacks, bounce back from failures, and persist in the face of adversity is essential for sustainable success.

Finding a supportive mentor in the first few years of this transition can be incredibly beneficial. A good mentor can significantly ease the journey by preparing students well in advance, reducing pain and agony, helping avoid failures, enhancing gains, and greatly accelerating progress. Overall, mentoring plays a crucial and supportive role in helping students successfully transition to the real world by providing guidance, advice, direction, practical tips, support, and resources, helping them thrive in their chosen career paths.

CURRICULUM

SECTION I : A2PL
A transition is  a change . And it is not a minor change, but of a significant “delta”. Acclimatization is very important for any such major change. It prepares you for handling the crucial part of the change and reduces shocks, pain, impact, probability of setbacks or failure.

During this module we will handle the acclimatization part of the A2PL journey.

Learn : unlearn : re-learn :
Learning, unlearning and re-learning has always been a very crucial and essential aspect of achieving success that sustains over a long time. The more the speed and quantum of change in the environment of relevance, that much more is the importance of this learning part.

In this module, we will identify the priority areas, tacts & techniques for this part of the A2PL journey.

A right outlook, a right mindset and the right attitude is of key importance to succeed in any profession and continue being successful. In fact, not only in the professional but all facets of life.

Understanding what is the right mindset and the right attitude in which circumstances is the pre step of developing them.

In this module, we will discuss and help you acquire clarity in reaching such understanding and further proceed to create or re-construct the “right mindset” and “right attitude “

It is very important to understand what is important and what is not. Further it is crucial to learn establishing order of priority in such important things / tasks.

In this module, we will evaluate and pursue to get a sharp clarity on defining the pyramid of priorities.

Priorities will help in achieve intended progress and growth. It is also very critical to get one’s own definition of growth which would have different meanings in different form of consideration or environment or different individuals at different stages.

SECTION II : A2PL
Communication carries as much, or at times even more importance as the content. It has a potential to become a great differentiator, a big strength and power or the opposite, if not used effectively.

Communication is a simple yet complex art. Yes, in more paradigms it is an art, but also is a skill that can be practiced and enhanced.

In this module, we will get a btter, deeper and wider understanding on Communication‘.

Like it or not, all the above three are integral realities of life…. Even more so, of a professional life.

Being able to walk through the maze created by these aspects with a higher level of efficiency and effectiveness is of very high importance. This becomes even more important as one stands growing vertically.

We will derive and achieve clarity, better preparedness to handle this and learn to find comfort in uncomfortable, unstable and unclean environment.

Things do not happen by wishing them or as per one’s wish or desires. We need to make them happen through the factual, hard, tough, challenging realities.

Therefore, understanding the reality, eliminating the subjectivities while assessing the reality is very crucial. The next important phase is to handle and deal with the realities, making things happen in and around those realities to achieve desired outcome.

This module is for more in depth and in detail discussion and becoming better equipped to move over effectively through and around such realities.

In the 360 space around in and through the sphere pof varying radii, we work, communicate, collaborate with various stake holders. Being able to do an effective, efficient and smart stakeholder management has a tremendous impact on one’s success and progress.

We will utilize this module for achieving required clarity and know how on “stake holder management“.

Having a perception, image matching with what and how we would like it to be about in carries a lot of weight towards we becoming successful.

So building and maintaining the “right image“ and building a “right reputation“ is a very vital component of one’s success matrix.

During the discussion and interaction under this module, we will focus on the “image” and “reputation”.

We keep executing tasks, do things, take actions, take decisions, create execute and implement strategies. While doing all this, keeping the right balance, staying at or as much close as possible to the optimal point is not easy yet necessary.

Understanding the paradigms of such balancing and keeping that aspect in the bunch of important considerations is what we will aim to understand through this module.
